Burning Hummingbird
About This Novel
Forensic doctor Qin Ming's new retro suspense series "Burning Hummingbird" is adapted from the criminal investigation notes of his father who served as a police officer for 36 years. The story of Hummingbird took place in 1976, an era that feels strange to us. Gu Hongxing, who had just become a police officer, came across a murder case in which a female worker was crushed to death by a machine. The bloody scene and the broken body had a huge impact on the timid man. From then on, he had nightmares again and again. At that time, modern crime-solving technology had just emerged. There was no DNA technology, no surveillance video, and no computer network. Every time Gu Hongxing and the others handle a case, they are faced with difficulties: How to seek justice for the girl who was raped in the dark night? How to know the true identity of a rotting corpse in the wilderness? How to find the hidden real murderer among more than 3,000 suspects? As the first generation to use trace detection technology to solve crimes, Gu Hongxing never gave up looking for the truth of every case under extremely simple conditions. He is like a hummingbird looking for fire, burning himself all the time in order to bring the hope of light. But what he didn't expect was that the images lingering in his nightmares were not that simple...
